Re: buddy buckets with temperpudic foam ?

Are you referring to "therapeutic foam?" I'm sure the engineers have already mulled it.

The problem as I see it is that if you are a heavy weight you may sink down to far and if you are a lighter weight you may be too high up in the seat. It would be hard to find a happy medium, but the idea is good...

Generic name would be "memory foam". Check locally to see if you have a foam mattress company near you. They can cut custom slabs and have a lot of foam options. That stuff is $$ though.

There are a LOT of different memory foams out there. Some are laminates with a soft layer on top and firmer layer underneath, to accommodate different weights in comfort.

Re: buddy buckets with temperpudic foam ?

i think foam not designed for automotive use will breakdown in short order with the extreme temps an automotive seat is subjected to..
